The 1972 World Series was a terrific clash between two rising Major
League franchises, the Oakland A's and the Cincinnati Reds. Neither
had won the pennant in decades. Twice removed from their original
home in Philadelphia and unappreciated in Oakland, the A's quietly
played excellent ball, their long hair and mustaches symbols of
rebellion. Led by manager Sparky Anderson, the clean-cut
Reds--baseball's most conservative club--were becoming a powerhouse
and were the favorites entering the Series. This book chronicles
both the A's and the Reds' journeys to the memorable '72 Fall
Classic--where six of seven games were won by a single run--with
batter-by-batter coverage of the diamond exploits of Bench, Perez,
Rose, Rudi, Odom, Tenace, and others.
